Not well written but accurate none the less.
The Enemy is so relevant it's out of print.
Dave Haslams protest against free speech was a non event.
The best revenge is to ignore the haters, they're a symptom of the bland PC brigade who have lost the ability to think for themselves. Their short attention span is always drawn to the word racist and its easy to spell. ..

This is quite a bizarre rant. Not sure what it’s meant to achieve apart from looking like a mad vitriol at what was once a great institution in music. Yes the NME certainly lost its way because music also did. It cannot be forgotten though that the NME also helped M massively throughout his career

the media don't care anymore where an item of news is true or false,its all about getting it out there first,this is rolling news channels,newspapers,social media,facebook,if someone sues they roll back and say they were given the wrong information.

Embarrassing drivel. The NME is not and has never been viewed as a The Guardian of music. The only similarity is that they’re both shadows of what they once were.

Haslam was a Smiths/Moz fan. I know this for a fact. I saw him at gigs over 30 odd years ago. He played Strangeways in its entirety, songs gaps and all, as soon as it was released, at the Hacienda. Again, I was there.

I hate to concede anything to the daft old bugger but by aiming at the dreadful NME he has picked a target where he can land a few hits, even by swinging wildly and ineffectually. But it's a hollow victory, like plopping out a terribly written tirade about Glenn Medeiros' music not being very good.

Judging by the time of night this was posted in LA time, seems around 10/11 PM Pacific Time, this was one of the following:

A drunken Moz rant, which he signed off as PK (Does read very like Moz)

A standard PK rant, which says more about Morrissey's trust in management (rare given the past)

PK with a dragon breathing down his neck...

Got to disagree about the writing style, it's nothing like Morrissey's florid, overblown ravings. But I agree that it's got the Hand of Moz all over it (as you say, probably breathing down his neck). The Now Mostly Excrement acronym, in particular, sounds very much like him.

i would like to ask the poster "uncleskinny" not just to precede his impending threads with an opinion-forming assessment of the material we are going read, as he thankfully did here, but also with selected commentary on this material from facebook, twitter and other social media. if possible, an age rating would be helpful too.
we all look for orientation in life, and this would make reading texts so much easier. i prefer not to think for myself, honestly, and can be easily offended by "strong language" which might have an undesirable effect on people my age. thank you in advance.
who needs freedom of thought when there is freedom of speech?
